Dr Duke, dermatologist in Mystic, CT, discusses how surgical and non-surgical fat reduction methods are becoming more popular and accepted. Unwanted stubborn fat around the waistline, legs, and arms can be very difficult to reduce by exercise and diet alone. We all gather fat in these areas due to many issues: phases of life, changes in body metabolic rates, fluctuations in estrogen/progesterone/ and testosterone which alters fat storage patterns, medications, diet, and activity levels. In general, humans are more sedentary than we were in our cave man days. We also have access to more high fructose, fatty, processed, and carbohydrate-laden foods. Some people have had their belly fat since being a kid--that is just the way they are built. Read more to learn about the latest non-surgical fat reduction treatment option call Vanquish.

Botox has been used to decrease angry-looking frown lines, creased wrinkles around the eyes, layered lines on the forehead, and those linear ridges cursing your upper lip for more than a decade. I have been using Botox to smooth out these angry or old looking wrinkles on my patients for more than a decade-since Botox was FDA approved in 2002! And I can tell you, experience counts when giving a patient the best Botox results. I use other types of Botox as well: such as Dysport.
It is not so much which product is used (there are currently four types of Botox FDA approved to reduce muscular-induced wrinkles) or even how much product is used (though that is important as I&#39;ll discuss)--but how it is injected--who is the injector. I have injected thousands of people&#39;s faces, to reduce their wrinkles, using Botox Cosmetic and Dysport.

The term chemical peel conjures up visions of stinging, burning, injured raw skin covered in mummy gauze dressings for weeks and weeks. But skin healing and being transformed, becoming more youthful, smoother -- taking away those wrinkles or acne scars or enlarged pores or other skin spots you may not like.
Many patients come into my office saying: I need a chemical peel --and then they rub or wipe their cheeks almost envisioning the layers of sun damaged or time-worn skin cells sloughing off and rejuvenated skin waiting just below to come forth.
As the fall and winter are when we do most of our chemical and laser peel procedures AND we are very excited about our new chemical peel blends this fall, let&#39;s get down to the chemical peel basics. Read on to learn how to select the best chemical peel for your skin type and issues.

Are you looking at sagging skin on the face and neck area? Or the legs! Your belly? Your arms!
Being humans, the collagen in our skin is destined to become looser, more lax, less tight and firm. Plus we live on a planet with a strong gravitational force. Combined looser collagen fibers with decades of gravity pulling down on our bodies, you have areas which are less tight and firm than we might like.
The technology and science behind skin tightening devices have much improved over the past five years. The VShape is one of the newest treatments to tighten and firm face, neck, legs, abdomen, and arms. Learn if this treatment can help your issue.

Are you looking for smoother skin? Do you have enlarged pores, wrinkles, acne scars, or other skin issues? Do you want your skin to look smoother, more refreshed, or even just a bit brighter and more youthful?
Skin resurfacing describes the category of skin treatments that aim to smooth the texture of the skin.
Laser skin resurfacing describes those treatments that use a laser or energy-providing device to smooth the skin texture.
A fractional laser is a more gentle device that applies microscopic controlled dots on your skin which heal and create smoother skin.
The Pixel-RF is a new innovative approach to fractional skin resurfacing which creates microscopic pixels or dots on your skin in an very controlled way. The skin becomes smoother, refreshed, more healthy looking, and more youthful.

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition which causes redness, flushing, breakouts and pimples, irritation, inflammation, and burning. The skin condition comes and goes, with certain phases of life and/or certain triggers aggravating the skin which then becomes active and breaks out. Treatments include minimizing your exposure triggers , topical creams both over the counter and prescription, and laser treatments to reduce the redness and inflammation.

Part II
In Part I of my Coolsculpting treatment experience blog, I described how the treatment worked and how it felt during and right afterwards. In the office, we usually see patients back in three months, as that is the amount of time it takes to evaluate your results from the treatment. So I decided to write my Coolsculpting follow-up blog at around the three month mark. Did it hurt after the initial treatment? Did it work for me? What did I think of the results? Would I do it again?

Skin resurfacing is a general term which refers to a process or procedure intended to improve the texture of the skin. Make your skin look smoother. Improve specific textural issues such as wrinkles, acne scars, fine lines, prominent pores, and forms of sun damage and skin aging. A skin resurfacing procedure makes your skin look smoother, more radiant, and more youthful.
There are many different devices used for skin resurfacing.
There are different intensities of skin resurfacing: mild/no downtime, moderate/little bit of downtime, aggressive/more downtime.
Each procedure really has a different goal, designed to best improve a specific combination of skin issues. One procedure may give better results for pores and brown spots. Another device may give better results for redness and acne scars. Yet another may be focused on deeper wrinkles and blotchy brown areas.
Learn what type of skin resurfacing can best help improve your particular skin issues.

Are facial fillers to soften wrinkles the right treatment for you? What type of wrinkle do you want to reduce or soften? --upper lip creases or deeper fold type wrinkles that run around the mouth and chin areas? There are different fillers for different issues.

Dr. Duke has been offering to her patients several different types of facial fillers for over a decade. She took on additional training at Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts General Hospital as a dermatology resident, chief resident, and cosmetic laser fellow.

Patients sometimes ask me: is there a difference between a microdermabrasion performed at a doctor s office and a microdermabrasion performed at a spa or salon. The answer is YES, for many reasons.

Part I
CoolSculpting is a no downtime external only treatment to decrease the appearance of discrete bulges of fat mostly on the abdomen and flank . The device, which requires no anesthesia, no needles, and no probes, works by decreasing the temperature in the applicator cups to selectively injure fat cells and not all of the other cells. Fat freezes at a higher temperature than water, which is the guiding principle for how the device safely causes the fat cells to shrivel up, die, and be slowly moved away by your own body&#39;s immune cells -- over a period of about three months. CoolSculpting is not a weight reduction program but rather reduces the areas of stubborn fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. This blog is the first in a multiple part series describing the experience of a dermatology laser nurse. In this first segment, she describes her actual treatment experience and what the area felt like the first few days following the treatment.
